Therefore. 1t was In harmony with the
laws Of human being for the perceptiv'
faculties to be the first Of the intellec
tusl organs Of man to unfold and taxi
cognisauce of things outside of himself
Thus 1t came to pass that the science oi
mathematics, geometry, astronomy
chemistry. geology and biology. together
with scientific Investigation and expert
ment In many other fields Of study
should precede the science Of man upon
which the integral social organism must
eventually be ba ed.
All Of thess sciencee. except mathe
matics and geometry. were preceded BY
vague and fanciful theories that were
supposed to be occult science" until
positive knowledge came and revealed
TO the awakening mind the domain oi
pure science, wherein there is no vail Of
mystery! no boundary line to mans In
vestigations no realm Of the unknow
able; consequently. the reign of super.
stition with all its train Of horrors and
vain imagiuings is already broken, as
surely as the sun in spring warns and
invigorates the bosom of the earth while
vet upon its surface cold winter seems
to reign supreme. Z
With q familiarity with all Of these
sciences. pseudo and positive alike. un'
precedented. "Sidsrtha" came to his
great work of correlating all the wisdom
and fragmsntary truths of tho ages that
resulted In the discovery Of the twelve
mental laws. which govern and control
the mental faculties and bodily organs.
These twelve laws which rule the
body and the mind constitute perfect
system ofhuman life."
This discovery was "the rich harvest
of many centuries Of human culture. 1t
unitel the disconpected and partial
truths which abound an )ng all CIV l.
ized nations of past times into one clear
and practical system" II <
Until now these fragments Of truths
could not be applied in all the depart
ments TO actual life. X
'"For the mental faculties include the
reasoning organs and hence complete
structure of society is the product Of in
telligence. science and well-de6ned in
tentions. They are an inseparable part
of its producing causes"
Until these twelve laws were discov
cred 1t was not possible to institute a
permanent order of society. Hence, We
find in all lands the forms Of govern
ments. iudiciaries aud religioas, stand
Ing outside Of and above the people.
They are authorities over but not an in
tegrant part of the body polite. These
twelve laws express the form and action
of twelve groups Of faculties From
these faculties the whole v,ll n, Of hu-
man wants are derived. The brain or
gans are formed around two great CEN
tres Of action: The thalamu, or centre
of sensation and the stratum or centre
Of motor processes. =
The unfolding process Of these mental
faculties is as natural and orderly as is
the unfolding Of rosebud. Hence ii
follows naturally that until the reason
ing or reflective powers of man are un
folded, lie can have no correct con;ep.
ton Of his own powers or how to crafty
his desires or supply his needs, and
therefor. up to the present time all hu-
man institutions and all human society
has failed to satisfy anv but the lowest
instructive wants Of man. And even
these needs have been supplied by tenn
porary expedients that were partial and
unjust in their application.
All that governments have aimeI to
DO is to compel men to be civil to each
other and to maintain Law and order by
the surrender of their Individual rights
for the public good. 'The judicisries of
all nations still represent only the low
organs Of destruction, economy and re-
serve. They DESTROY the life, confiscate
the property or imprison the offender
against the majesty of the law"
The common ideal of justice ls Curl
GUS mixture of defense aud revenge.
Civilized institutions are based upon
experience and they have all been
modelled from condition of society
which was based upon selfish antag-
onism of interests aud the subsection of
the many to the authority Of the few"
1t is true that standard authorities on
jurisprudence acknowledge the supren'
acy Of the natural law, and assert that
the written law is not binding upon man
when it Is contrary to the natural law.
But until now the law has been stud
led from mans outward conditions IN
stead of from the needs Of his own facul-
ties, simply because he has had no true
conception Of an organic order or system
governing their manifestations.
